I’m not “scooching” so these people can make the road more dangerous for the rest of us.

Fuck off you are surrounded by two tons of metal, you are in no danger. It costs you nothing to not be an asshole and not use your 2 tons of metal to block people.

One of those should be mopeds/motorcycles I imagine?

Yes, cars stop faster when ebraking. A hyperbike performing perfectly throwing their body back can stop a bike somewhat shorter, but typically stopping with more than 1g will cause a stoppie.

I'm american, but since moving to vietnam, I have reached enlightenment and understand that all traffic and urban design problems are caused by cars (and/or capitalism).

    You fuck off, I have no room on these roads in my city to give way.

    THERE IS NO ROOM.

    And I also have

    NO OBLIGATION

    to go out of my way and

    endanger my kids

    by suddenly swerving into another lane so a freaking motorbike can pass me because

    they want to exceed the speed limit.

    That would definitely put me and my kids in danger, and my vehicle. And other travelers in the other lane, which I would be crossing if attempting this. And I'm technically not blocking anyone if I'm going the limit. I bet you're one of these idiots on the road speeding, aren't you.

    Your arguments are dumb, because you are making assumptions about my situation, and, also, you are rude, so I have zero interest in talking with you further. 🙂 Please screw off. That's the end of it.

    lol, you pompous dum-dum, this isn't about car vs anything. This is about you asking me to do something that I can't do safely, because you can't put yourself in someone else's situation due to lack of empathy.

    I usually bike to work. 👍

    Kindly fuck off carbrain, you've made it clear you have no problem using your car to block anyone else who also wants to use the road, there's no need for further discussion.

    I'm not blocking someone if I'm going the speed limit.

    And they can use the road fine. Just drive behind me a few meters back, we're both going in the same direction, nobody is blocking anyone.

    You're not too bright, son. Jesus Christ.
